Oil Pressure Gage - Chevrolet 2003 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

Oil Pressure Gage
United States
Canada
The oil pressure gage shows the engine oil pressure in
psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is
running. Canadian vehicles indicate pressure in
kPa (kilopascals).
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or some other problem causing
low oil pressure. Check your oil as soon as possible. See
Oil Pressure Low under DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3- and h g i n e Oil on page 5- 17.
I
Don't keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If
you do, your engine can become so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as soon as possible and have
your vehicle serviced.
Notice: Damage to your engine from neglected
oil
problems can be costly and is not covered by
your warranty.
